2 Quick Start

Before you connect the AvaSpec spectrometer to the USB port of your computer, you need to install the AvaSoft software first. AVASOFT version 8 is a 32-bit application that can be installed under the following operating systems: • 32 bit Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10 • 64 bit Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10

2.1 Installing the AvaSpec Software Browse to www.avantes.com/gettingstarted and download the Quick Start Guide and latest software. Registration is required. Installation Dialogs The setup program will check the system configuration of the computer. If no problems are detected, the first dialog is the “Welcome” dialog with some general information. In the next dialog, the destination directory for the AvaSoft software can be changed. The default destination directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\AvaSoft8. If you want to install the software to a different directory, click the Browse button, select a new directory and click OK. If the specified directory does not exist, it will be created.

After this, the “Start Installation” dialog is shown. After clicking the “Next” button, the installation program starts installing files. During the installation, the install program will check if the WinUSB driver has been installed on the PC. In some earlier AvaSoft versions, an Avantes kernel USB driver was installed for AS5216 spectrometers on 32bit versions of Windows.

Revision: 10-01 6


The Device Driver Installation Wizard will be launched automatically. The last dialog in the Device Driver Installation Wizard displays whether the WinUSB driver has been installed correctly.

After all files have been installed, the “Installation Complete” dialog shows up. Click Finish. Connecting the hardware Connect the USB connector to a USB port on your computer with the supplied USB cable (this can be USB2.0 or USB3.0), wait until the green LED is ON before you start AvaSoft. USB with external power supply Connect power supply to spectrometer, then connect the USB cable between the spectrometer and computer, wait until the green LED is ON, then start AvaSoft. Note: USB3.0 speed requires USB3.0 cable and USB3.0 port on the computer. Ethernet with external power supply (only applicable for EVO spectrometers) Connect the power supply to the spectrometer and connect the Ethernet cable between the spectrometer and LAN. Default a new spectrometer is delivered with DHCP enabled. The green LED is blinking during request of the IP address, when the green LED remains ON, the spectrometer is ready for use.

Revision: 10-01 7


2.2 Launching the Software AvaSoft can be started in the Windows Start Menu. Under ‘Start’, ‘All Programs’, a group “AVANTES Software” has been added, which has an entry for the AvaSoft 8 program and an entry for the AvaSoft 8 help file. There will also be an AvaSoft 8 icon on the desktop that you can click. After starting the AvaSoft 8 software, a welcome window will be displayed that will show the spectrometers that are connected. The AvaSoft 8 windows will be displayed next. Refer to section 3 for a description of the different windows. A “Quick Start” can be found in the section below, if you want to start measuring immediately. Detailed information about the menu options can be found in the separate AvaSoft manual. Depending on the AvaSoft version (Basic or Full) and the extra add-on modules that were ordered for your spectrometer, more applications are available in AvaSoft Full, which are described in the separate AvaSoft manual:

• Wavelength Calibration (needs AvaSoft Full) • Time Series (works in AvaSoft Basic) • Process Control (included in Time Series) • Excel Output (works in AvaSoft Basic) • Chemometry (needs AvaSoft Full & CHEM) • Color Measurement (needs AvaSoft Full & COL)) • Irradiance Measurement (needs AvaSoft Full & IRRAD) • Raman (needs extra hardware) • Thin Film (needs AvaSoft Full)

Start AvaSoft with Ethernet spectrometers. At the startup, AvaSoft searches only for USB devices by default. To use Ethernet, settings in ‘options’ menu of AvaSoft have to be changed, see AvaSoft manual. If no DHCP server is available in your network, you can change the IP settings of spectrometer to fixed IP. Please use the IP_Settings_AS7010 utility. This utility can be found in the Avantes software folder in the Windows start menu.

Revision: 10-01 8


2.3 Quick Start: Measuring and saving a spectrum 1. After starting AvaSoft, the Start button in the upper left corner of the screen needs to be

clicked to start measuring. 2. Connect a fiber or probe to the light source and to the spectrometer input port(s) and set up

the experiment for taking a reference spectrum. 3. Optimal smoothing is preset and stored on board in the EEPROM. 4. Now turn on the light source. Usually some sort of spectrum may be seen on the screen, but it

is possible that too much or too little light reaches the spectrometer with the present data collection settings. Too much light means that, over a certain wavelength range, the signal is saturated; this is shown as a straight line at the maximum counts and the appearance of the label “saturated” in the spectrometer window of the channel. This can usually be solved by a shorter integration time. The integration time can be changed in the spectrometer window (by pressing the cogwheel icon, by directly changing the ms value, or by pressing the Auto-configure Integration time button. Try to adjust the integration time, such that the maximum count over the wavelength range is around 90% of the full ADC scale (59000 counts for a 16bit ADC). When at minimum integration time the signal is still too high, an attenuator, a neutral density filter or fibers with a smaller diameter may be used. When not enough light reaches the spectrometer, likewise a longer integration time should be entered.

5. When a good spectrum is displayed, turn off the light source. 6. Now save the Dark data. This can be done by clicking the dark bulb icon in the spectrometer

window, or the one on the left top of the screen with the mouse. Always use Save Dark after the integration time has been changed.

7. Turn on the light source again. Save the present spectrum as a reference by clicking the bright bulb icon (next to the dark one). Always use Save Reference after the integration time has been changed. Now the measure mode can be changed to e.g. Absorbance (A button) or Transmittance (T button). To have a better look at the amplitude versus wavelength, the Assign Cursor button can be clicked in the Tools menu. A vertical line is then displayed in the graph. If the mouse cursor is placed nearby this line, the shape of the mouse cursor changes from an arrow to a ‘splitter’ shape. If this shape is displayed, the left mouse button can be used to drag (keep left mouse button down) the line with the mouse towards a new position. Moving this line shows the corresponding values of wavelength and amplitude in the status line of the screen. By clicking the stop button, the data acquisition is stopped and the last acquired spectrum is shown in static mode. The data acquisition can be started again by clicking the same button, which now displays ‘Start’.

8. To save the spectrum (in the mode chosen before), choose ‘File’-‘Save’ from the menu. 9. To improve the Signal/Noise ratio, a number of spectra may be averaged. To do this, the value

in the spectrometer window (below the integration time) can be increased. The new value will take effect when you press the ‘Set’ button.

4 AvaSoft manual

The AvaSoft-Basic software is available for every Avantes spectrometer. The AvaSoft-Full version software contains many additional features and applications. Please see the software section in the Avantes Catalogue for an overview of the extra functionality in AvaSoft-Full. A detailed description about all features in the full version can be found in the help menu. AvaSoft-Basic features are user friendly; it works through mouse oriented pull down menus. The mouse controls movements of a data cursor for instantaneous readout of wavelength, pixel and y-axis magnitude. Mouse dragging is a fast and elegant way to zoom in both x and y direction at the same time. Buttons in the main window are available for on-line/off-line spectral analyses (start/stop), for easy saving of reference, dark and experiment spectra, printing, changing the view to absorbance, transmittance, irradiance or raw scope data, rescaling the y-axis and set scale for x- and y-axis. A spectrum that was saved before can be displayed graphically and compared to other saved spectra, or to the online measured spectra. The user can set the data collection parameters, such as CCD detector integration time, auto-dark correction, signal averaging and spectral smoothing in common dialog boxes.
